Our solution
Enerdrape introduces the world’s first geothermal panel technology. Enerdrape changes the way we access underground thermal energy.
Our patented solution allows harnessing shallow geothermal and waste thermal energy without any drilling and direct contact with the ground.
These panels effectively convert underground spaces such as parking lots or tunnels into sustainable energy sources.
By employing Enerdrape panels, buildings can be heated and cooled using renewable energy, benefitting from substantial reductions in CO₂ emissions.

How does it work?
1
A system of Enerdrape geothermal panels integrates a closed-loop piping circuit in which a heat transfer fluid circulates to exchange heat with the underground. The unique design of Enerdrape panels allows absorbing both shallow geothermal energy from the ground and, if desired, waste thermal energy from the air contained in underground spaces.
2
A heat pump connected to a system of Enerdrape panels allows transferring the absorbed heat to the thermal energy system of any building or infrastructure for their heating during the warm periods and their cooling during hot periods.
F.A.Q.
Does my building need an existing heat pump before Enerdrape geothermal panels can be installed?
Not necessarily. If needed, a dedicated heat pump will be installed. This can then be connected to any existing heating system, whether it uses gas or oil.
Is the Enerdrape solution compatible with existing buildings?
Yes, Enerdrape panels are modular, thin, and flexible, making them a versatile choice for integration in building renovations or new construction projects.
Will this geothermal panel system cool my underground space?
No, the Enerdrape system primarily draws its energy from the ground. This does not affect the comfort of people using the underground space.
Is the Enerdrape solution suitable for an urban environment?
Yes, it is particularly advantageous in urban settings. The geothermal panels, along with the geothermal heat pumps employed in Enerdrape systems, are compact and quiet, making them well-suited to comply with local regulations.
